To work in all environments, when my applications start, I lookup the
system drive and save it to a local "help" path variable, then check for
the existence of the help file, and if not there (either folder or file)
I create it and copy .CHM file from the server. The application always
opens the CHM file from the local "help" path. That way, the
application works from any workstation regardless of what Microsoft's
latest patch might do.

Thanks Razzak. I know it's a "beyond RB" issue and appreciate your
followup.
I had previously edited the registry but found a typo when I
double-checked against your instructions - RegEdit needs RStyle!
Unfortunately, fixing the typo didn't help.
Server and workstation updates are current - I had hoped that MS would
have had a fix. nah.
Will followup on the KB alternative later.
Have a great weekend!

This has been for some time, just getting tired of going to
R:Syntax.com, as good as it is.
This is a server installation running R:Base on a Win 7 workstation.
System:
WinServer 2008, SP 1
Win 7 (64) Pro SP 1
RB 7.6 & RB9.5 (32) 20430
I've attempted these fixes I found on the internet:
I've run regsvr32 hhctrl.ocx.
There's no "unblock" button on the CHM Properties to click (I think
that was Vista & XP).
I added the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions\MaxAllowerZone
to the registry.
In the R:Base Help window: Internet Options > Security: set them all
to low - no luck.
I know this has come up before but can't find the old email.
Don't get tired of going to RSyntax.com. Your situation has nothing
to do with R:BASE.
FWIW ...
Microsoft recently released a security patch that makes it impossible
to view CHM files
that are stored on a network drive (as opposed to CHM files stored on
your own computer).
The help file will appear, but instead of the topic text you will see
an error message
"this page cannot be displayed".
The security patch and its effects are fully described on Microsoft's
web site at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896358
If you trust all the computers on your LAN or intranet (and the
people using them), you
can lower the restrictions on the Local Intranet zone to allow CHM
files to be displayed
with the following steps:
01. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
02. Locate and then click the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions
If this registry subkey does not exist, create it.
03. Right-click the ItssRestrictions subkey, point to New, and then
click DWORD Value.
04. Type MaxAllowedZone, and then press Enter.
05. Right-click the MaxAllowedZone value, and then click Modify.
06. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
07. Quit Registry Editor.
If this solution does not work for you, see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896358 for
alternatives.
Have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
